The truck was purchased with funds donated from the Francis G. Shepardson estate. The Smyrna Rescue responds to assist in the care of a patient until the transporting ambulance arrives on scene. This care can be anything from giving the patient a cold drink to checking the vitals of a victim of tragedy.

This year, Smyrna Rescue training focused on rehab of fire members during a structure fire or major incident. The Smyrna Rescue will help rehab not only fire victims, but also members of their Fire Department.
